DO YOU HAVE A DREAM?

I have a DREAM.

Ask a child what he/she wants to become in the future and you will get an amazing response:
"I want to be a Doctor"
"I want to be a Pilot"
"I want to be an Engineer"
"I want to be a Fashion Designer"
"I want to be a Footballer"
"I want to be Bank Manager"
"I want to be a Lawyer"
 etc. etc.

Fast forward into 25 years later, the realisations of those declared dreams become a mirage and are just lost into thin air.

Its explainable and understandable because along the line, some lost interest in their dreams, some found a 'much better' dream to follow, some were encumbered financially and thus could not achieve same, others out of survival to live found it convenient to do something else rather unfulfiling etc. etc.

DO YOU HAVE A DREAM?
Some are concerned about them reaching their peak age and hence decide not to pursue a dream of interest. Time is a factor but should not be a limitation.

You need not wait to have all things settled before you step out into an activity. Its not always about the money but rather, have the idea, the audacity to implement and a strong mental fortitude to brave all odds even in the face of discouragement and taunting opposition.

WHAT HAS NOT HAPPENED IN THIS LIFE BEFORE??
 Grandma Moses was an american folk artist and begun painting on canvas in her 70's with one of her collections selling for US$1.2million in 2006

In her early life, she started out working on farms, cooking and sewing for families she worked for until arthritis set in. Her painting career then kicked in till her demise at age 101

What would be your excuse for not going after what you dreamed of??

Age indeed is just a number!!

  1. Age is just a mindset, having the right attitude, you can either look at the Downside of life or switch up the way you look at things and think of how much Life is a gift from GOD that we are meant to enjoy and live to it fullest. God always wins
